We all know about the apparent Smartphone wars: Apple, Google, Microsoft, and RIM fighting it out for our business.

RIM, the creators of the Blackberry, are struggling to hold on to their dying market, only really held on to by business users who are typically keen on the Blackberry’s two major features: the qwerty keyboard, and Blackberry Messaging (BBM).

If you are unfamiliar with BBM, it is a text messaging feature that works between Blackberry’s in realtime, offering a more seemless texting experience, where the app posts the time in which a user receives a text (very useful for important messages) and works very much like an instant messanger.

Enter Kik, the cross platform application that works with Apple, Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry, that offers nearly exactly these features, for free.  Sure there are still a lack of certain features, all of which you can follow from Kik’s website that are in development, but this is step one to nearly eliminating the Blackberry’s market.

Now enter the DROID Pro, pictured below, which offers nearly all the features of a Blackberry phone, with the more popular Android operating system.  Couple this and Kik and you have effectively destroyed the barrier around Blackberry phones.
